Christopher Roberts Political stability in Brunei Darussalam — the abode of peace — is built on oil wealth and Brunei's citizens subsequently enjoy some of the best standards of living in Asia. This fortuitous state of affairs is reinforced by a small population of just 402,000 — two thirds of whom are ethnic Malays. Nonetheless, a range of short, medium, and long-term challenges have compelled the kingdom to be increasingly innovative and, in some areas, more progressive for the purpose of maintaining long-term economic and social stability. Such themes are evident in the three sections covered by this chapter. The first section focuses on Brunei's economy. While the economy has not been particularly strong in recent years, the section reveals that some developments have either taken place, or are in the process of being implemented, that may eventually strengthen the foundations for a more robust economy. The second section examines the political environment of Brunei and finds that while there has been little change to the institutions of government, there were a number of subtle policy reorientations for the purpose of responding to past omissions and new problems. The final section examines the country's foreign relations and developments concerning its defence policy. Here, significant events included Brunei's relations with China together with a final resolution of Brunei's maritime disputes with Malaysia. Overall, 2010 was a crisis free year that enabled the Kingdom of Brunei to refine some of its political and economic policies.

Changes resulting from the publishing process may not be fully reflected in this document. The definitive version is available at: DOI: 10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2013.07.020 Abstract Climate change is a global phenomenon, and its outcomes affect societies around the world. So far, however, studies on media representations of climate change have mostly concentrated on Western societies. This paper will go beyond this limited geographical scope by presenting a comparative analysis of issue attention in 27 countries worldwide. The sample includes, among others, countries that have committed themselves to greenhouse gas emission reductions under the Kyoto Protocol such as Germany as well as countries that are strongly affected by the consequences of climate change like India. In a first step, it describes the development of media attention for climate change in these countries from 1996 to 2010. Second, it compares the amount of media attention and explores whether it corresponds with indicators measuring the relevance of climate change and climate policies for a country.

  • Brunei in 2013 Paradoxes in Image and Performance?
    02 Christopher.indd 83 4/29/14 5:24:42 PM Southeast Asian Affairs 2014 BRUNEI IN 2013 Paradoxes in Image and Performance? Christopher Roberts Brunei is currently a politically stable and peaceful country that enjoys one of the highest per capita incomes in Asia due to an abundance of hydrocarbon reserves. However, it is the smallest Southeast Asian nation in terms of its population (415,717) and second smallest in terms of its land mass (5,765 square kilometres). This, together with its long term existence as a constitutional sultanate or Malay Islamic Monarchy (Melayu Islam Beraja), provides for a fascinating mix of historical, cultural, and political considerations. However, its size, strategic location, and the challenges of modernization and globalization continue to generate a conundrum over the most viable policy approaches to economic, social, and security issues in the long term. Given these considerations, this chapter provides an overview of a broad spectrum of key developments in economic, political, and foreign affairs during 2013. As detailed below, Brunei faced a mixed year where there was a general stasis on the economic front and a new level of conservatism politically, but a successful mix of international diplomacy and leadership vis-à-vis Southeast Asian regionalism. Economic Affairs The pace of economic development in Brunei Darussalam has been quite mediocre in recent years. At the time of writing, Brunei was estimated to have achieved only 1.4 per cent real GDP growth during 2013 and this follows from 0.9 per cent in 2012.1 While real GDP growth is predicted to accelerate to 2.1 per cent CHRISTOPHER ROBERTS is Senior Lecturer in Asian Politics and Security, Research Convenor, National Security College at the Australian National University.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT This is a study of constitutional and political development in Brunei Darussalam between 1944 and 1962. Responding to new forces unleashed by World War II, British planners in the Colonial Office embarked on a policy of promoting political progress in Brunei Darussalam with the aim of eventually introducing self- government, with the widest possible participation of the people of all communities. The thesis traces the origins of the Colonial Office's plan to introduce constitutional V government in Brunei Darussalam; examines the evolution of the plan taking particular account of the obstructive intrusion of certain post-war developments which inevitably delayed the fruition of a full political advancement; and analyses the interaction between the local ruling elite, the British Colonial administration, and the Partai Rakyat Brunei (People's Party of Brunei).
